Ricky
The staff was supper helpful, the room I rented was very clean. I loved the close proximity to restaurants and the pier, and the property being ocean front is a definite plus. Stayed here before, will stay again.
Karen
Very nice beach front hotel! Everything was wonderful except parking .
Randall
Was a great stay! Helpful and friendly staff, great amenities. Super easy beach access. Just an overall great experience!! Wish we would have booked a beach front view, but next time for sure!
Tammy
The room was very clean. We loved how close the beach was to the room! We will definitely stay again.
Tanner
Great spot, will be back.
Kevin
Sad little motel with potential.
Pro: steps away from the beach, renovated bathroom.
Con: Really bad musty smell, in need of drywall compound (patch walls) and paint throughout, replace the rusty stove, replace the loud AC in the 1st bedroom, needs side bed tables w/lamps in 2nd bedroom, lamps in 1st bedroom, blackout curtains, replace the rusty light fixture in the nicely renovated bathroom, pressure wash the balcony area, awful parking.
Based on the age, Motel could be a nice vintage place to stay with more effort.

Mitchell
We overall enjoyed our stay here but could some areas could use improvement. The room did not have an overwhelming sense of cleanliness when arriving the room had a light to moderate smell of what smelled to us like vape smoke. The beds were also pretty hard and could use improvement.
Amanda
Pet friendly, easy check-in. The motel itself is older and the room felt like it was overly humid even for a beach motel. However, it was nice to have a kitchen. It felt very nostalgic and check-in and out process was easy! Direct beach access. If you aren't looking for a fancy hotel, this is well worth it! We enjoyed our stay. Within walking distance of the pier, restaurants, and a convenience store. Awesome!
Melanie
We had a great time with our kids . Everyone was so nice . We definitely will be coming back
LUCIANO ADAM
Great access to the beach, friendly staff fun time all around
Meredith
We had a last-minute stay here for a couple of days, it wound up being the tiniest room so we didn’t have a place to sit or anything, but everything else was so great. The pool and the shower were so helpful and everybody that works there and even the people that were staying there were so nice. Had a great time. We’ll definitely cThe pool and the shower were so helpful and everybody that works there and even the people that were staying there we’re so nice. Had a great time. We’ll definitely come back.
Maria Theresa
The room I paid for was ocean view. My room was on the first floor, and my view was the parking lot facing the ocean. It was disappointing. When we checked into our rooms, there were flies inside. The rooms are clean.
Ildiko
It would have been extremely important to be able to have the room dark at night as the outdoor light were shining in all night. You have the have dark blinds that actually work for people to have a chance to sleep. This is the least you can do if you still want to keep the price affordable. The smell (musty smell ) was bad in the room.
Adam
I paid for an ocean view room and it was a view of the parking lot that is between the ocean and the building. So don't get a first floor room. The air condition was terrible. Our room never cooled off. There is no service desk, and the number you call says that they close. On the inside of the room, there are no curtains to keep the light that's mounted outside from shining in through the window. By the time we got settled in and realize these issues, there was no one to contact when I stated my complaint this morning to Expedia, they could not get customer service on the phone, but give me a $50 useless credit toward my next stay money that can only be spent with them. I think I need to contact my bank and cancel the payment. Because I did not receive what I had paid for.
Louise
Clean room, nicely stocked kitchen in room, nice pool. Access to pier and beach were great.
Ruth
Our room was just perfect! The kitchen was just right and the room was lovely with a balcony overlooking the pool. The staff were so fried and helpful! Can’t wait for our next stay there!
Shaji
We had a great experience and plan to be back often! Thank you!
satyanarayana
We liked overall, this what we hot in last minute and it’s good for price we have paid.
Lolita Gena
Good location, friendly staff
Margaret
Room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful, our room wasn’t on the beach side but just outside our door we could see it. WiFi wasn’t very strong but we managed.
Debbie
Wonderful trip, really nice and clean room with ocean front view. We enjoyed our stay there and will return!
Donald
Everything was just as it should be.
Chelsea
Surprised how decent this motel was. Beach view was great. Shower was a good size, beds were decent. Parking on site was nice so you don't have to pay to walk to the beach.
Triston
Great
Jason
The best location for a beach stay. Your balcony and window look out to the beach and private pool. Maybe one block from the fishing pier, two restaurants, and all the gift/ food shops. Fort Fisher and the Aquarium are about 3 miles down the beach. Driving back to historic Wilmington on the mainland was quick and easy. There you can access all the normal stores and restaurants you would find back home, plus more attractions for visitors. Our 2 bed rental had everything we needed, and I didn’t even know it had a kitchen with plates, utensils,etc until we arrived. All this at a very reasonable price.
Jennifer
The property is okay. Stayed for years. Motel need improvements. Update stuff
Lindq
Best part was being right on the beach. Quick access. The boardwalk needs replacing
The facility is older but sufficient for the convenience of beach front. I was blow drying my hair and blew the fuse or breaker although nothing else was on except ac unit. They promptly tried to fix it but couldn't figure it out. We had no electricity or light in the bathroom but it was okay. Not a problem for our short visit. There was light from bathroom window. They are compensating me w a free night voucher. Beds were super comfy and shower was tiny but great water pressure. We did have a fruit fly issue in kitchen area. Beach was good !!!

Victor
Place is very dated, rooms smelled musty 4pm check in is completely unacceptable to me. We arrived at 2:45 and was told our room was ready but needed to wait till 4pm or pay a $50 early check in fee on top of almost $400 a night for a room smaller than my bathroom at home. No ice machine either. Staff was very friendly.
Teresa
Its just an old beach front motel. The only reason to stay is the view and proximity to the beach. That part is great. Other than that, the tiny stove is old and unusable, so dirty it set the fire alarm off when I turned it on. There is no staff other than housekeeping. Plenty of restaurants around but most closed early afternoon. A few open for early dinner. Check in is all done by phone, they do have private parking, that's a plus. You're truly staying here for location to the beach, dont plan on spend much time in your room and you'll be fine. The beds are good, comes with some dishes and coffee maker which is nice, shower amd bathroom is clean. Get a room with a balcony view. Its not terrible, it is what its supposed to be. Great view!
Blanca
Our stay was pretty good. Location was great as it was like 1 minute walk to the beach.
Holly
Room was clean and location was amazing!

Good property. The only issue was the room was too bright in the mornings due to the curtains they use. Other than that, good location and the price was good

Good location, right on the beach. Close to restaurants and attractions. Clean room and well maintain property. We enjoyed our ocean view balcony, pool, picnic area and beautiful beach.
Randall
It was a very pleasant stay. We will definitely come back to this motel.
VIC
Sand Dunes is definitely a place I would revisit! Staff was friendly and helpful, balcony overlooking the ocean, beach access was right off from the pool area.
beautiful area and enjoyed our stay tremendously!

Matt
Great room, good location next to the pier. Only stayed 2 nights but I would definitely come back!
Rachel
Roaches. Dirty. My baby wasn’t able to crawl around in the floor because when she did, her legs were getting black from the dirt. When we asked housekeeping about cleaning it, they just handed us a dust mop and that was that. Had to wait on getting new towels. There was a huge crack in the tub. We found two giant roaches outside our door. When we arrived, the floor had been covered in sand like it hadn’t even been cleaned before we got there. The keypad on the door didn’t work the entire time we were there. Only good thing about it was how nice the beach and pool were
Carolyn
Great location and ocean views.The floor and carpet were not clean They did send housekeeping the next day and they corrected the problem.The bathtub was dirty and a stove eye caught on fire from grease. I probably will not come back to this property.It should be maintained better for my requirements..
Timothy
The bathroom was clean….the floors in the room not so much my kids feet were BLACK we had to wear shoes the whole time in the room and for this price we should not have to do that….we drive an SUV and the parking was horrible/ TIGHT
The staff next door responded quickly to any needs! there’s no elevator walking to the third floor with kids and luggage was not fun….the view was amazing & we had a great time making memories but won’t be staying here again due to parking & dirty floors

Location, Location, Location. We wanted a place at the beach, nice but not crowded. Kure was it, and we booked that morning. Clean place. Good off-street parking was welcome as well.

The lady at the front desk was very sweet and kind! She even stayed late to help me with a tv issue in my room. The room was very clean, and well maintained. Overall my stay was wonderful!

It was the perfect little getaway. Location was great loved having the private beach. The room was very comfy and homey. Will stay again when I get back to NC.

It was right by the pier had its own beach access everything was easily accessible nice hotel with a little bit cheaper price well worth the stay
Mary
We love the fact that there was a kitchen in the room with everything you need to cook for yourself. The pool is amazing and our five-year-old granddaughter loved it. The hotel is right on the beach and very close to the pier. Is also very close to several excellent restaurants. Would recommend!
Cheyenne
Everything was good and easy access to everything there
Jewell
We loved our stay here. There are 2 pools and both are very clean. Right on the beach with great views.
Kimberly
The Sand Dunes is always a winner in my book. Clean rooms, clean pool, great view, awesome staff! Reasonably priced as well. We love staying there.
Allison
Good motel and close to several restaurants
Isabella
Our stay at the Sand Dunes Motel was such a pleasant experience. The staff were so helpful and kind, the rooms were clean, and the beach view (even on the first floor) was stunning. The pool was also very clean, and the beach access was very convenient. Looking forward to staying here again in the future!
Paul
Excellent location. Easy access with sufficient parking (on both sides of the building). Very friendly, attentive staff. Full kitchenette (full size fridge, small gas stove, microwave, coffee maker). Surprisingly large room and bathroom (\"oceanview\", 2 queens) and good size balcony with fantastic views. Good amenities. The only \"mismatches\" are \"shot\" upholstery on table chairs (put some seat covers on) and small and useless Roku TV (couldn't get out of the main menu: remote issue? But who needs TV with such views and things to do?). IMPORTANT (save the confusion): the hotel services are \"remote\", but the shared (contracted?) front desk is right next door (The Admiral's Quarters, blue building). Your door code won't work until you pay $3+tax of local tax, and that's something not added to the bill online (I don't recall specific instructions: add to the email and text message). Park, go there and pay something like $3.74, and then proceed to your room. Our personal finding: door lock keypad is \"slow\" on waking up. Press the \"check mark\" button (bottom left), wait few seconds for \"grumbling\" to finish, and then type your 4-digit code and press the \"check mark\" button again.
Overall, well worth of our time and money, and we'd stay there again. Thank you.

The room was exactly what we needed. Perfect view.
Ronald
Clean rooms and professional staff made for a great weekend.
Amanda
Great location, right on the beach and walking distance to the pier and a few shops/food. Short drive to more stuff at Carolina Beach. WiFi was fast enough for my demanding family of tech workers and teenagers.
The kitchen didn’t have much in it—if you’re planning to cook in the kitchen, I would bring pretty much everything from home. The coffee maker is a regular drip and requires filters, which we needed to buy. The coffee provided is the kind that’s like a teabag you put in the drip maker, and is therefore not great. There’s no kettle. The bowls were plastic and I wouldn’t microwave them. No can opener. Sharing these details not as a criticism but as info for others to know what to bring.
Would go again!

The room very clean beautiful scenery and didn't have to worry about carrying a key . They had a key pad with a code. I thought that was neat. The kitchen had the basic things you needed. The staff very friendly and nice and very helpful. 3 floor but the down fall was no elevator. They have a few restaurants in walking distance and it's close to the pier. It's a old looking place but looks can be deceiving ,very very nice I would stay again

It’s at the beach. What more do you really need to say . The whole point of this property is that it is beachfront. Your room has a view of the beach. Your balcony has a view of the beach and you’re literally steps away from the beach. Due to the humidity, you do get a bit of an odor in the room. Kind of musty. But clearly the air conditioner is too large for the space. So that makes it a little worse for the humidity and the clamminess in the room. And the air conditioner is very loud.
While we did not use it, the pool looks fantastic clean and warm. There was plenty of people enjoying the pool.
It’s kind of old and the maintenance is a little deferred, but everything is functional.
It’s located in a very quiet part and there’s only a couple restaurants around but you’re a five minute drive down to Carolina Beach where there’s tons of activity. And only a couple minutes away from Fort Fisher Museum, and beach. Which is pretty cool to see.
The beds were extremely comfortable. The TV is terrible, but you’re not there to watch TV. And to John and Janet, you should not leave your prime account logged in. I could’ve rented or added any service I wanted. lol

The room was clean and big enough with good access and view of the beach. Kitchen was equipped enough of useful utensils. Somewhat of an oversight is the loud smoke detector almost directly in the vicinity of the stove and oven where smoke will definitely rise if you are cooking. Hence, the alarm blared while we were cooking.
Jeanine
It was great location
Amy
We had a lovely stay at Sand Dunes Motel as usual! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We would have appreciated fresh towels and toilet paper during our stay, but other than that everything was excellent. We always enjoy staying here and will definitely be returning again next year!
Karen
When I arrived the room had not been cleaned. I requested a refund and the staff there did send that through quickly.

The staff is amazing the view is wonderful!!
Jennifer
Great spot on the beach. Staff was kind and friendly. Water pressure in room wasn’t great but doable. The parking lot is very, very small and tight. My car got scraped by someone:( There are cameras but don’t work!!!
Stephanie
Small and quaint. Perfect weekend get away.
Room clean and close access to beach. Just be aware that parking is tight. Large vehicles will have trouble

Enjoyed the convenience of the private beach access and the pool. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable. Parking was a little tight so if you have a large vehicle be prepared. We will definitely return.

Carol
My oceanfront view was amazing with quick easy access to the beach. The pier was a very short walk away and always love hanging withbthe fisherman. The room was clean and comfortable and well appointed. The staff were so very friendly and amwats willing to assist!
Chase
It was great.
Meaghan
Clean room, friendly staff and easy beach access!
Kent
Everything was nice
Sierra
Good room for 1 night stay. Cheap and clean. It was a shame the weather was not so good. Will stay again on a whim overnight to the beach.
Cathy
The room had a great ocean view but the housekeeping wasn’t up to par. The floors needed a good sweeping and mopping from previous guests. There was sand everywhere and we had to wear our shoes inside at all times or our feet got really nasty.
Angela
We had a two bedroom suite. Two rooms. One had 2 double beds, the other had a queen. No couch. A table with 2 chairs. Full size fridge. The room overlooked the ocean. Motel is on ocean. You walk out, you are
LaShae
Don’t let the reviews scare you from this place. It was beautiful. Staff was nice, rooms were clean, place is quiet, wasn’t any disturbance. Great weekend getaway. Will be coming back!
Andrei
